I think there is a time when we must move away from the technology of simple "gee whiz" consumerism, and this would be it. There is a time when you must step back and know that what you are viewing is art. What this essentially means is that laboratories are not just built to move along the progress of humanity but to also etch into our psyches some aspect of permanence.
And what better way to create permanence than through the means of antique watch parts? Well, let's walk into the world of Mike Libby.
Insect Lab is an artist operated studio that customizes real insects with antique watch parts and electronic components. Offering a variety of specimens that come in many shapes, sizes and colors; each specimen is individually designed and hand- assembled, each is one of a kind and unique.Mike Libby - Insect Lab
Mike Libby goes beyond simple construction of insects and you can tell he put a lot of care about the beauty of his works. This isn't about simple modelling. This is about the appreciation of insects as a life form. he does an incredible job of it and each insect in his collection is rendered with as much craftsmanship as the next.
After looking through Mr. Libby's robotic insects, I'm sure you'll fall in love.
